Jay drives through the post-apocalyptic south in a mobile laboratory. There aren’t many zombies around here, but life still hangs by a thin thread—most dangerous are the people themselves. Ahead are unexpected encounters, fresh threats, and familiar ways to wriggle out of trouble. And for now Jay doesn’t even suspect what’s coming: “The One,” the return of the Ravens, and the fact that the settlement of the Regulators suddenly became the focus of attention for everyone around. Will they manage to survive, or will Jay’s and Bob’s path end quietly and without glory?
